Group-wide meetings of the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) occur twice a year and are open to researchers affiliated with member institutions, patient advocates who are members of ECOG-ACRIN’s various scientific committees, industry representatives, and invited individuals from external (non-member) organizations. Group meetings are closed to the public.
Purpose
Present the latest in basic, clinical, and translational research by Group leaders in the areas of cancer prevention, imaging, diagnosis, and treatment
Provide a forum for academic inquiry among physicians, clinical research professionals, patient advocates, and others
Host education sessions on engaging patients and the public in the clinical research process
Reinforce compliance with Group policies and procedures
Offer non-CME training and education workshops for research professionals
The format of our Virtual Spring 2021 Group Meeting was similar to that of our Virtual Fall 2020 Group Meeting. Sessions were open to staff from ECOG-ACRIN member institutions, ECOG-ACRIN advocates, NCI/NIH employees, and invited guests.
Training and Education
We are pleased to offer several pre-recorded educational presentations, geared toward clinical research staff, to download and view on demand. To access the materials, visit the Clinical and Administrative Resources section of the website, where we typically store such information. They will be available during and after the meeting to anyone with member log-in credentials, regardless of meeting attendance.
